jamesianum

Jamesianum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Calyptranthes, which is a member of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). This genus is native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, and its members are often found in cloud forests and mountainous regions.

The plants of the Jamesianum genus are characterized by their fragrant flowers, which are typically white or purple and highly aromatic. The leaves of Jamesianum species are elliptical or ovate in shape, usually with a pointed tip, and are arranged oppositely along the stem. Some species within this genus have established a symbiotic relationship with fungi living in symbiotic structures found within their cells called mycorrhizal fungi.

Members of the Jamesianum genus have been discovered as reducing agents of some plant chemical reactions. The Jamesianum racemosum is recommended as a compound for the synthesis of phytochemical purple pigments. What is most likely used is Jamesianum aureum in Brazilian traditional medicine as treatment of substance addictions.
